Hey you guys, I’m waiting for the doctor to call with blood and poop test results for Skippy. He had his annual checkup yesterday and I told her he’s had runny poop for a while. I didn’t realize that it’s really bad to let that go on, and there’s a chance he could have some organ damage.
Could you guys keep your fingers crossed for us until I hear?

GUYS!!! Doctor just called, good news! His blood work is fine, no organ trouble. He does have a parasite situation called giardia (she said I could have brought it in on my shoes) which is easy to treat. I’ll pick up medication tonight and the Skipster should be on his way to recovery soon. (not to mention less yucky cleanup for his mom)
Thank you for all the good thoughts. You guys are such good friends.

oh my god, so this adorable photo has forced me to make a confession. at my work we have a HUGE infestation of gophers, and i am in love with them. as a social worker, sometimes i have clients that like to yell at me and i need to calm down and realize that it isn’t about me. i do this by looking for noses. it is the best past time at work EVER. i call it “operation nose.” my co-workers who know about it thought that i was crazy but now they do it to. we discuss nose sightings and are WAY too excited about it. so, my confession is that i am obsessed with finding noses sticking out of the ground, looking for hawks so they can keep their family safe. i suppose that there are worse obsessions but my boyfriend assures me that it is fairly strange. :)
